TWM Die Tools - Tool Manufacture

Utilising the design information supplied from the tooling model, impression forms are rough machined.High speed Ethernet connections communicate gouge free, accurate toolpaths produced by industry leading software to the vertical machining centres.

CNC and manual spark erosion machines utilising CNC orbital heads give an improved surface finish while the System 3R Macro pallet system ensures fast and accurate transfer of electrodes between milling and erosion machines.
